Are You Real

In a world of urgent need around us, God gives us good things to enjoy …but ultimately God has blessed us so that through us, others might know his goodness, others might know his grace, and others might see his glory. Our guest today is David Platt, who took a life-changing 8-day trek through the Himalayas, where he encountered a population with urgent physical and spiritual needs. Our lives are but a mist here, so what can we do with our time to make it count? When our eyes are opened to the suffering in this world, something has to change. We’re going to be discussing David’s first book, and his upcoming book. If you feel like you’ve been living the dream but missing the point, or feel like you’ve just missed the dream altogether, this podcast is going to bless you. David Platt is pastor at McLean Bible Church in Vienna, Virginia. After graduating from the University of Georgia, he attended New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, where he received multiple degrees. Before pastoring at McLean Bible Church, he previously pastored congregations in New Orleans, Birmingham, AL, and the greater Washington, D.C. area. David also served as President of the Southern Baptist Convention’s International Mission Board, one of the largest missionary organizations in the world. He is founder of

God-given gifts can often be the inspiration for our entrepreneurial leaps of faith when we decide to leave a steady job with a safe work environment and a regular paycheck, for a job that focuses on, and is dependent on, those gifts. We’re going to talk to someone who did just that. Todd Furneaux is the special guest I’d like to introduce you to today. Todd spent over a decade being a merchant for Home Depot’s corporate office in Atlanta, buying and selling its products, working on advertising, and although he enjoyed his job, he understood it wasn’t for him in the long term. He knew that God had gifted him with the ability and desire to work with his hands, building things from scratch. He decided to use this creativity in product development. Listen in as we go over how he got his start in developing a luxury line of coolers and drink-ware; his latest product, Adkaddy; and a product development overview, including product-market fit, the development cycle, and customer retention.

Today’s guest is Robby Dawkins. I met Robby through Michael McIntyre, who has introduced me to so many great people. Robby is a 5th generation Pastor who has ministered in over 58 nations. He’s been in some pretty scary environments that are hostile to Christians. The focus of today’s conversation is Robby’s quest to live out the book of Acts. There are so many ways that Christians can be activated to literally change and impact the world for Christ. As we struggle to figure out what our purpose is, we can take comfort in knowing that in following the example of Christ, everything else after that will fall into place. We don’t have to wrestle with it. We don’t have to struggle with it. We are promised it will happen. Seek yet first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you! You can connect with Robby Dawkins at

Did you know that God provides us with a recipe for happiness in Psalm 1:1-3? This happiness provides us with a steady supply of dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. You see, God created us with an addiction to these neurotransmitters, and His Word encourages the specific behaviors and healthy habits that replicate, create, and sustain the addiction that God put into us at Creation. Every addiction that is the enemy destroying God’s good creation causes us to need more and more of a bad habit to create less and less of a good feeling. But the healthy habits that God created for us to have, bring life to us and those around us. Connecting with the right people, discovering the right things, and creating the right productivity in your life will to happiness. I’m so excited to introduce you to today’s special guest, Pastor, and Author Mark Moore. We discuss happiness , his new book, building a church, the one thing that men will not come out and say, how to help your spouse win, and so much more.

Pornography, drug abuse, lying, and financial deceit. What do these things have in common? They are all forms of betrayal. Today’s guests, Jay, and Lori Pyatt are Certified Relationship Mentors, who help couples after betrayal. Jay and Lori share their very own personal experience with betrayal, redemption, and restoration concerning his long-term addiction to pornography. Jay helps men overcome pornography addiction and other sexual sins in their lives, and teaches them how to rebuild trust in their marriages after the truth comes out. Lori works with women after betrayal of any kind, following the “Betrayal Trauma” model, which can often get women to a better life in a matter of months, rather than decades. Jay discloses the scripture that is close to his heart, reminding him that we are all redeemable, how he learned to listen to the voice of shame from the enemy that tells us we are not, and how he and Lori learned to recognize how much grace and love that Jesus Christ has for us. Tune in to discover the new foundation they laid down to heal their marriage. You don’t want to miss this.   Resources:
